City of Ember

A book by Jeanne DuPrau

Book 1 of the sequel The City of Ember.


What is it about:

"Many hundreds of years ago, the city of Ember was created by the Builders to contain everything needed for human survival. It worked…but now the storerooms are almost out of food, crops are blighted, corruption is spreading through the city and worst of all—the lights are failing. Soon Ember could be engulfed by darkness…

But when two children, Lina and Doon, discover fragments of an ancient parchment, they begin to wonder if there could be a way out of Ember. Can they decipher the words from long ago and find a new future for everyone? Will the people of Ember listen to them?"


My Opinion:

This book is about two youngsters, a boy and a girl, who meet at school. They switched their jobs and wanted to save the city of Ember. The city of Ember is falling apart, their only resources of light is a light bulb. The resources are slowly running out but what if they find another city or a way out of Ember? 

Will I Recommend it:

Yes. I will recommend it to 4th/5 graders.

Homelessness

Shelter For Homeless By: Gayatri What is homelessness and who does it affect? Homelessness means to have no home or permanent place of residence. Homelessness affects hundreds of thousands of people today. It also affects the poor and the veterans who came from the war. It affects the veterans because after coming from the war they have no idea of where to live and what to do. Many people feel that homelessness is not a huge problem however, I believe that all people should have a home that belongs to them.    From the day I was born, I have always had shelter. Some of my favorite vacation memories including trying different types of houses. Like living in villas, apartments and houses. But I have seen through my life that some adult and kids don’t have shelter.They have to live on roads and sometimes even kids and teens have to beg to live and get shelter. Tons of people in China, who live in small villages move to cities to find a better life and job. But mos...
